## Summary

The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is planning to issue a tender for the provision of a glaucoma device, specifically a minimally invasive procedure device targeting three key resistance points in glaucoma treatment. This tender, classified under medical consumables (CPV 33140000), is currently in the planning stage. The procurement process aims to test the market capacity and scope services before formal procurement begins. Interested suppliers should prepare for a potential tender announcement on 15th January 2025. The procurement is focused on the West Midlands region (UKG23), and the contract value is estimated at £322,000.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in ophthalmology equipment (CPV 33122000) and medical consumables. Suppliers with innovative solutions for minimally invasive glaucoma procedures will find this a promising opportunity. The process is intended to increase market transparency and competition, making it ideal for businesses that are prepared to demonstrate their capacity and effectiveness in this sector. Companies interested in this procurement should express their interest through the Atamis portal, positioning themselves for the upcoming tender if it proceeds. This is an excellent opportunity for suppliers to engage with a significant NHS Trust and potentially secure a substantial contract.

## Notice

The University hospital of North Midlands is looking to award a supplier who is able to provide a minimally invasive glaucoma procedure device that targets all 3 points of resistance- Schlemm's canal, collector channels and the trabecular meshwork in one procedure. 

Surgeons are looking for a system that is indicated for the catheterization and transluminal viscodilation of Schlemm's canal and the cutting of trabecular meshwork to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma. 

This is not an invitation to tender, nor does it preclude or favour eligibility to participate in the formal procurement once it starts. It is a process solely to test the current market capacity, to scope the services, and inform the procurement process.
Details in this PIN are subject to being updated or changed in the final tender notice.
